Attometer

An attometer (am) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-quintillionth of a meter (1 am = 10⁻¹⁸ meters). This unit is extremely small, even smaller than a femtometer, and is used in theoretical physics to describe distances at the quantum level, such as within particles or in advanced models of spacetime. However, attometers are rarely used in practice because most known physical structures, including subatomic particles, are still larger than this. The attometer mainly appears in scientific equations or hypotheses dealing with concepts beyond current experimental capabilities.

Vara Castellana

The vara castellana is a traditional Spanish unit of length that was widely used in Spain and its former colonies. It is roughly equivalent to 0.8359 meters (about 32.9 inches).

The vara castellana was commonly used in land measurement, construction, and textiles. Its length could vary slightly by region and time, but the standardized vara castellana became an important reference for legal and commercial measurements.
